Williams, AZ; to Gallup, NM. Easy day, not too many miles. All above 5000 ft altitude. You know what happens to a bag of chips when you bring it from sea level to 5000 ft? Do we look like that also?????
This begs the question, if we go to 10000 ft, are we in danger of a major explosion?
At a rest stop, we found Ray's new glass truck, takes nice big panes.
We had to try one tourist trap.

Are we on Route 66??? Then you have to find the "Standing on the Corner" Statue in Winslow, AZ. Does the younger generation even know this song?
I think it is interesting that Winslow has a 9/11 memorial, a couple Trade Center standing beams in a little park. They may be a long way from NY, but they remember.
Gotta stop at every little town on 66, in Holbrook found a VW lover, who loves to modify them,,,,, Guys loved this, ladies finally dragged them away.
And remember the Wigwam Motel, right out of the fifties.
While the ladies investigate the accommodations, Bob found his new truck. Love at first sight.
But soon forgotten with his newest love,,,,,
Overnighting in Gallup, Zimmermans western store and Richardsons Trading post were a big hit with our traveling group. Western shirts, moccasins, hats, who do you think bought what? Tomorrow, ALBUQUERQUE.............

My Bob says Bob M bought the western shirt! Don't know who else. We are headed home, in Idaho tonight. We had a wonderful trip, but will be good to get home! I miss Leila! We remember a lot of the places you have stopped. How is Bob getting the new truck home? Patti driving? Have a safe, fun trip. Hope the air conditioning is working in the T's! We have beautiful warm weather today, first in a lot of weeks! Came across the border from Canada and it warmed up 20 degrees.
Mary B, Bob & Nona too
Of course we know that song (or--yikes--am I no longer the younger generation? Gah!). Have fun!
We had a very large bag of Costco popcorn explode in the back of the car when we drove from Phoenix to Ouray, Colorado. Too much elevation change, POP & the popcorn was everywhere!!!
I think Harley might be mildly disconcerted at the size of that Jack rabbit!
Did mom let you keep that truck? You found it fair and square...l right?
